"Childhood Arrivals and Their American Dream"

Friday, March 4

Kalmanovitz Appellate Courtroom, King Hall room 10018:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Record numbers of women and children are arriving from Latin American countries seeking asylum to escape from the violence in their home communities. Millions of refuges are trying to escape the war torn areas of Africa and the Middle East. The world as a whole is struggling to meet the demand for assistance. What happens to the children caught up in this turmoil? This symposium addresses the impact of the refugee crises on children who make it to the United States.

We begin by analyzing the scope of the refugee crises around the world and their impact in the United States. Next, we discuss the state of human trafficking of childhood arrivals to this country, with a focus on California problems. We then spend the afternoon discussing the rights of these children once they arrive, and the many challenges they face from the criminal justice and immigration systems.
